DeHaven's show remained in Athens
just one week. During this time It, ac-
complished many things, but perhaps its
most distressing piece OF work was the
sorrow and trouble its presence caused
good and respectable family in the lower
part of the city. One of the performers
with the show, a muscular, athletic tel
low. whose skill upon the trapese equaled
his capacity for doing evil, won the affec-.
tons of 15-year-old daughter of a
wealthy couple. The fellow was not at
tractive in the least, but the girl became
perfectly infatuated with him, and was
easily persuaded to elOpe with him when
the circus left. The evening OF the shows
departure she met her lover in the tent,
and was concealed by him in one of the
smallest tents. The GRIPS father and
mother soon missed her, and suspecting
her whereabouts, went to the circus tent
and instituted a close search for the
daughter. Fortunately for the child, for
she was nothing but child, they found
her and carried her home.
